In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge pork cutlets in flour mixture. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 Tb. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 6 pork cutlets to pan and cook, for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from pan, and set aside. Repeat procedure with remaining 2 Tb. oil and remaining 6 cutlets; remove from pan, and set aside.
